The incident leading to Nance's arrest took place near 426 Swan St. Wednesday at around 4 a.m., which is when he allegedly shot a male resident of 426 Swan St. in his right hip after the resident reportedly went outside to stop some sort of vandalism that was occurring in the street.

An intensive search for Nance was conducted up until the time he turned himself in.
